2. WHAT IS PERSONAL DATA, AND WHAT IS PERSONAL DATA PROCESSING?

For example, the data that can identify a person directly is the person’s name and surname, while their ID Card number can identify them indirectly. Personal data includes information such as a person’s mobile phone number, e-mail address, date of birth and gender, among others. We could also include numeric identifiers such as your computer’s IP address, as well as the information obtained by means of cookies.
Personal data processing is any operation or set of operations performed by us on your personal data, such as the collection, registration, conservation, use and disclosure of your data.
3. WHAT TYPE OF INFORMATION DO WE COLLECT?
In order to be able to carry out the data processing specified in this Privacy Policy, we need certain information about you. That is why we collect the information provided by you through the various interaction and communication channels, such as the member account registration form on the website, the information and contact request forms, the form for signing up to receive the newsletter, corporate profiles on social networks, etc.
The data we can collect through the above channels is: your name and surname, company name, industry, mobile phone number, e-mail address, your answers to satisfaction surveys or product feedback questionnaires, shipping address (if this is not the same as your home address), social network profiles (only in cases in which you consent to share this personal information with us), information about your use of, and browsing on, the Website (the site from which you arrive at the Website, the layers thereof visited, the processes started and abandoned, IP address, type of device used for access, Internet browser used, the amount of time spent on the Website, etc.). We also store a “session ID”, which corresponds to an internal code that identifies you as user, your experience, job position, etc.
4. HOW DO WE COLLECT YOUR PERSONAL DATA?
You do not need to register on our Website in order to enjoy and find out about all the services available at MORCHEM. We only capture and process the information provided by you through the following channels:
- Contact form: in which you provide your personal data so we can contact you or your company.
- Customer service request forms: in which you provide your personal data to request information about our products, terms of delivery, payment methods, how to cancel your subscription, etc.
- ‘Work with Us’ form: in which you provide your personal data so that we can assess you as a candidate for employment or an internship at MORCHEM.
- Interaction with the Website and with MORCHEM on social networks: through your use of the Website when browsing it and through your interaction through the company’s corporate profiles on various social networks.
5. HOW AND WHY DO WE PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA?
In order to inform you with transparency and in detail about the purposes for which we process your data, we have set out the information on each type of processing in separate tables. This way, you will be able to find all the specific information on each type of processing that we carry out on your data in its own table.
Each table describing the types of processing concerned contains the following information:
a) What do we process your data for?
In this column, we explain why and for what purpose we process your personal data.
b) On what legal basis do we process your data?
This column explains the legal basis that allows us to process your personal data. The data protection legislation requires us to have a basis to allow the processing of your data. Thus, we rely on four legal grounds – depending on the activity or on the type of processing to which we subject your data – to process your personal information. The legal grounds for the processing of your personal data can be:
- Legitimate interest: As a company, MORCHEM has a legitimate interest in collecting and processing your personal data in order to study and analyse the suitability of our Website, products and services and whether they are in accordance with our customers’ and users’ needs or should instead be modified in some specific aspect or can be improved to be better suited to those needs. We also have a legitimate interest in maintaining regular contact with you in order to keep you informed about promotional or advertising matters regarding our products and services. In any event, this legitimate interest is based on an analysis of the right balance between our interest in processing your personal data and your rights and freedoms. The result of this analysis will determine whether or not we can use your personal information for the types of processing set forth in this Privacy Policy (except with regard to segmentation and profiling for sending commercial communications, which requires your express consent).
- Compliance with a legal obligation: MORCHEM as a company is the controller of your data. For this reason, we must comply with a number of obligations imposed by accounting, tax, consumer and other legislation. In cases in which the legal justification for any of our processing is the fulfilment of a legal obligation, your refusal to provide any legally required personal data will preclude you from acquiring products or services from MORCHEM, as doing so would entail a breach of the legislation to which we are subject.
- Your consent: If MORCHEM wishes to process your data in a way whose legal justification cannot be based on any of the above grounds, we will request your consent before such processing. In any case, please note that you can always withdraw your consent in such cases.
c) How long do we keep your personal data for?
This column provides an indication of the length of time for which we will keep your data. In any case, the length of time for which we will retain your data will depend on the processing being carried out on your personal information. You must remember that, under certain accounting, tax, consumer, data protection and contract legislation, we may be under an obligation to retain certain customer and user data for a specified time.
d) What are your rights?
This column describes the rights you can exercise in relation to your data, based on the processing being carried out on it. Please note that your rights may be restricted depending on the legal basis that allows the processing of your data. More details can be found in the following section.
